was
obtained
at

and
the
commis­
sion
made
use
of
the
estimates,
al­
though
it
did
not
follow
them
abso­
lutely,
but
used
Its

judgment.
The

The
commission
from
the
first
served
notice
on
all
property
owners
that
it
\had
no
desire
to
take
advant­
age
of
any
one
and
was
prepared
to
give
a
fair
market
price
for
what'
land
lit
took,
aad
that
the
negotia­
tions
could
be
carried
on
without
an
intermediary.
As
soon
as
it
received
money
for
expenses
it
had
an
elab­
orate
survey
of
the
entire
region
made
and
divided
up
the
fouta
of
the
proposed
parkway
into
sections.
With
the
aid
of
real
estate
appraisers
and
from
a
careful
study
of
public
rec­
ords
the
commission
established
stan­
dardized
prices.
The
Westchester
critic3,
in
their
complaint
to
the
Governor,
ia
which
they
accuse
the
commission
of
being
fan
incubus
on
C\e
valley,
say
that
detached
properties
have
been
bought.
Thia
is
the
cue
to
a
new
method
of
buying
land
for
public
purposes.
The
commission
bought

it

As

COUNTY
BANKERS
WANT
MR.
WARBURG.
•Urge
Him
To
Consent
to
Serve
on
Federal
Reserve,
Board.
'
The
Westchester
County
Bankers'
Association
has
been
very
much
in­
terested
in
the
new
law
which
created
the
Federal
Reserve
Board,
and
every
one
of
its
members
is
anxious
that
it
;be
controlled
by
business
mon
and
bankers
who
will
conduct
its
affairs
In
a
proper
manner.
They
have
held
the
opinion
all
along
that
It
should
not
be
allowed
to
become
a
political
mat­
ter,
and
that
all
trace
of
partisanship
or
politics
should
be
left
out
of
the
question.
During
the
past
few
days
especially,
have
they
been
interested
In
the
de­
velopments
which
caused
Paul
M
Wnr-
burg,
a
Westchester
County
resident
and
a
personal
friend
and
neighbor
of
many
of
the
interested
bankers,
to
withdraw.
The
members
of
tho
Wostcuester
Association
have-felt
keenly-
the_facL|
that
Mr
Warburg
may
.not
become
a
member
of
tho
Reserve
Board,

City.
The
banks

anxious

you
on

earnestly

that
you

DAVID

Association.
In
commenting
on
the
situation
this
afternoon,
Mr.
Cromwell
said
-
—
\It
would
be
a
shame
if
such
a
man
as
Mr.
Warburg
were
to
be
grilled
by
any
committee
simply
because
be
is
a
Wall
Street
man.
Congressmen
and
Senators
from
many
of
the
Western
and
Southern
Slates
never
ovorlook
an
opportunity
to
take
a
stand
against
anyone
from
Wall
Street,
and
it
is
with
the
Idea
of
gaining
the
favor
of
tl
-
elr
constituents
who
hold
this
same
opinion
that
they
are
against
Mr
War­
burg's
appointment.
\The
Reserve
Board
would
do
no
actual
good
to
the
country
unless
un
der
the
management
of
men
thorough
ly
skilled
in
business
and
banking
af­
fairs.
Mr
Warburg
not
only
knows
American
banking,
but
he
has
a
thor­
ough
knowledge
of
foreign
banking,
Which
makes
him
especially
well
fit­
ted
to
be
a
member
of
tho
Reserve
Board.
He
accepted
the
appointment
at
a
sacrifice
and
his
nomination
should
be
promptly
confirmed.
\If
the
Board
Is
allowed
to
become
a
political
one
it
will
do
harm
to
the
country,
instead
of
doing
good,
as
it
should.
\The
members
of-tho
Westchester
County
Bankers'
Association
feel
that
If
Mr.
Warburg
knows
that
bis
neigh­
bors
in
Westchester
County
are
all
with
him
ho
may
bo
Induced
to
change
his
mind
about
declining
the
appoint­
ment.
\The
question
is
one
of
national
Im
portance,
and
Westcnester
County
is
especially
interested
in
Mr.
Warbnrg's
confirmation.\

Y. com­ mitted suicide Friday night by jumping trom the ainety-foot concrete bridge over Rye l^ake at Kensico, near toe work of the construction of the new dam of the New 'Xork City aqueduct. Sloane jumped the ninety feet into thirty feet of water and It was six hours before Hid body was recovered aad then only by the aid of boat BODY OF BATHER FOUND IN SOUND: „ a*.

The car was driven by ills chauffeur George Thome and Mr. Sloane woe accompanied by Cils attendant A J. Boynton. They had fraen pleasure riding in the county all afternoon, and at about 5.30 o'clock came to the bridge over Rye Lako. Hera Mr. Sloane 'expres­ sed the wish to walk across the bridge and enjoy some of the sur­ rounding ecenery- The attendant complied with bi3 •wishps and tCiey started to walk aeff-s. When about half way Mr. Sloane turned suddenly on his attendant, grasped him by the throat and at­ tempted to strangle him. Ho let up after a few seconds, however, and giving 1 Boynton a pueh backward, climbed the plde of the bridge and leaped into the water ninety feat be­ low. Boynton and TCiorae, after trying for a while to locate their employer, hurried to tlio Krosfco precinct of the Aqueduct and reported the sui­ cide to Superintendent Schrady, who sent Sergeant Kelly and a patrolman to the scene. The policemen stayed until 11.^0 o'clock looking for the body with boot hooks and grappling iroa3. After their Search of nearly six hours they suc­ ceeded in recovering it. Coroner Dunn Hi ad been notified' and he took charge of the case. The body was taken to the Qrnhnm Undertaking establish­ ment In Rye. Mr. Sloane's brofner, Robert Sloane, was In Ry» today to take charge of the body. It will be returned to Oa- wefeo where the funeral services and . Interment will bo held. SMITH CARPET MILLS AT YONKERS REOPEN. Norlhcott, Was J)rowned July 4 Off Premium Point and His Body Floated Far. The body of Ernies!' Harry North- cott, of North Pelham, was found on Saturday afternoon by a motor boat party. The body was floating in Long Island Sound, about two miles off t.io shore. It was brought to Manrnro- neck and the police officials of that village took charge of the case. Mr. Northoott was Identified by a pin that he wore on his bathing suit and tbe_Mamaroneck officials limned- •lately communicated with tde North 'Pelha*n. officiali, yho' \came to Mam- aro'neclj and' identified- the body as that oi Mr. Northcott. It was about two hours after the body wa3 brought ashore that it was identified. Mr. Northcott was drowned In Long Island Sound off Premium Point on July 4th. He was on a fishing trip with a party of friends and during the afternoon went for a swim. He wao a strong swimmer and was soon several hundred yards away from the boat As he wa3 turning back he wa3 seized with cramps and befora his companions could reach him he Ctad drowned. A search for the body was made all afternoon but it was not recov­ ered. The finding of the body eo far away f\om the scene of tin drowning would indicate that he was carried out by an undertow of the tide. M nritlons witlf thia provision were Miss Emily C. Butler, of Scarsdaie, and Frank B. Chambers and Glenn Ford McKinney, both of Bronxvllle. Cor- poration? giving property (included the Scarsdaie Estates-, of Hartsdale; the Scarsdaie Company of Scarsdaie and tie Scarsdaie Real Estate Com­ pany. Tlie cost of acquiring the laad3 bought outright Is considered nomin­ al, for the services of expert real estate appraisers was obtained at a regular rate a day, and the commis­ sion made use of the estimates, al­ though it did not follow them abso­ lutely, but used Its own judgment. The bill was $4,000. Not far away ore certain lands acquired under the Bronx Boulevard condemnation pro- -f-coodlnga with f.\ia coat of which this amount might be compared. The commission from the first served notice on all property owners that it \had no desire to take advant­ age of any one and was prepared to give a fair market price for what' land lit took, aad that the negotia­ tions could be carried on without an intermediary. As soon as it received money for expenses it had an elab­ orate survey of the entire region made and divided up the fouta of the proposed parkway into sections. With the aid of real estate appraisers and from a careful study of public rec­ ords the commission established stan­ dardized prices. The Westchester critic3, in their complaint to the Governor, ia which they accuse the commission of being fan incubus on C\e valley, say that detached properties have been bought. Thia is the cue to a new method of buying land for public purposes. The commission bought property •wherever it could within the zone which is to include tie parkway. So in soma sections it hag nearly all, in places the bought and unbought lots make a chess board. As soon as lands are acquired the commission puts each parcel into a clean and sanitary condition. It can­ not make improvements and work out a scheme of landscape gardening until all_the lands for the proposed parkway are in its conrol. It Cias, however, removed dead trees, treated more than a thousand trees and trim, mod six thousand. Unsightly advertising signs and var­ ious flimsy structures have been re moved. The river, wherever possible, lias been cleaned, although there are places where tie property cannot be controlled until it passes into th6 Ownership of the people of the city and state.

The company was held to be Hie gal because thoy Ciad not filed a list of members with the town board as required by the town law, and be­ cause the members had not been ap­ pointed to their positions.

' The Westchester County Bankers' Association has been very much in­ terested in the new law which created the Federal Reserve Board, and every one of its members is anxious that it ;be controlled by business mon and bankers who will conduct its affairs In a proper manner. They have held the opinion all along that It should not be allowed to become a political mat­ ter, and that all trace of partisanship or politics should be left out of the question. During the past few days especially, have they been interested In the de­ velopments which caused Paul M Wnr- burg, a Westchester County resident and a personal friend and neighbor of many of the interested bankers, to withdraw. The members of tho Wostcuester Association have-felt keenly- the_facL| that Mr Warburg may .not become a member of tho Reserve Board, and David Cromwell, president of tho As­ sociation, sent on behalr of the mem­ bers the following telegram to Mr Warburg:— Mr. Paul Warburg, Kuhn, Loeb & Co., 54 William Street, New York City. The banks of Westchester Coun­ ty are all anxious to have you on the Reserve Board and earnestly hope that you will consent to serve. DAVID CROMWELL, President Westchester County Bankers' Association. In commenting on the situation this afternoon, Mr. Cromwell said - — \It would be a shame if such a man as Mr. Warburg were to be grilled by any committee simply because be is a Wall Street man. Congressmen and Senators from many of the Western and Southern Slates never ovorlook an opportunity to take a stand against anyone from Wall Street, and it is with the Idea of gaining the favor of tl - elr constituents who hold this same opinion that they are against Mr War­ burg's appointment. \The Reserve Board would do no actual good to the country unless un der the management of men thorough ly skilled in business and banking af­ fairs. Mr Warburg not only knows American banking, but he has a thor­ ough knowledge of foreign banking, Which makes him especially well fit­ ted to be a member of tho Reserve Board. He accepted the appointment at a sacrifice and his nomination should be promptly confirmed. \If the Board Is allowed to become a political one it will do harm to the country, instead of doing good, as it should. \The members of-tho Westchester County Bankers' Association feel that If Mr. Warburg knows that bis neigh­ bors in Westchester County are all with him ho may bo Induced to change his mind about declining the appoint­ ment. \The question is one of national Im portance, and Westcnester County is especially interested in Mr. Warbnrg's confirmation.\ NAVAL MILITIA GOING ON ITS ANNUAL CRUISE First Battalion, Which Includes Eighth Division, of Ossining, Will Go to Portland.
